I thought RedHat was the big evil, but Canonical seems to become what Microsoft already is, with their EEE practice.

Reject modernity. Return to Debian.

I also believe community distros are the way to go. Whether it is Debian, Arch or NixOS.

It was funny seeing people say they’re going to leave RH for Canonical.

Like okay. RH uses the GPL like Stallman intended, and people run to Canonical who make as much of their stuff as proprietary as possible.

"contributor license agreement" is such a broad term, a CLA is not bad in all cases. There are plenty of CLAs that are not about one-way proprietarization of software. Examples of OK CLAs are "You agree that you actually have the right to contribute code" or "If you don't specifically attach add a license header, the MIT license is being used".

Obviously companies like Canonical use the term CLA to make their practices look less shady that it actually is.

Despite their recent crappy moves, Red Hat ist still the largest FOSS contributor.

Since what they've done?

Very sad. LXC/D is pretty good system level container, much safer/isolated than docker/podman and lighter than VMs

[-] arouene@emacs.ch 6 points 11 months ago

@Gargari @leo You can still use LXC without LXD. I never used lxd since it’s pretty much snap only.

[-] oldfart@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

It's packaged in non-Ubuntu distros (not that there's anything wrong with just using lxc)

I'm thinking about getting into tinfoil hat manufacturing cause they're about to sell out.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
